Catherine Martin breaks record with fourth Oscar win

Catherine Martin has become Australia's most prolific Academy Award winner with two Oscars for her dazzling designs for The Great Gatsby.

The acclaimed designer, wife of director Baz Luhrmann, won both best costumes and best production design with set decorator Beverley Dunn.

Having won two Oscars for Moulin Rouge in 2002 - as well as nominations for Romeo + Juliet and Australia - Martin has overtaken the three Oscars won by Orry-Kelly for An American in Paris, Les Girls and Some Like It Hot in the 1950s.

Luhrmann's lavish adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic American novel won both Oscars it was nominated for at the 86th Academy Awards.

Accepting best costumes after joking about having her speech tucked in her bra, Martin thanked her "golden girls" who have been working with her for 25 years - and are currently sewing for Strictly Ballroom The Musical - and Luhrmann.
